Nice build thread so far, I can't wait to watch the progress. Keep up the nice work.

Looking awesome. Did you finalize an engine combo yet?

Yeah its going to be stock block 347, it wasn't going to be much more money over doing a 306. I wish I could go with an aftermarket block but my budget wouldn't allow it. Going to stay with the Ron Anderson Performance E7 heads, AFM B451 Cam, Performer RPM (Ported Upper and Lower).

looks great man! i'm in the process of doing a 4 wheel disc/5 lug swap as well, using 04 GT brakes. i have a few questions, if you don't mind. did you make the lines for the rearend, or is that the MM kit? what did you do about the hoses up front? what booster/master cylinder and prop valve are you using? thanks a ton!

Yeah, I made the hard lines on the rear end and the SS hoses are MM. The hoses Im going to use up front are also MM. Im going to be using a 93 cobra booster and a 94/95 cobra master cylinder and adjustable prop valve on the line going to the rear.

Thanks for the comments guys

thanks for the reply man. one last question. what year and type mustang did your rear calipers come from? and which rear braided hoses did you get from maximum motorsports? reason i ask is because i have 04 gt rear calipers and i was looking at maximum motorsports rear braided hoses and i see they sell them for 94-95 cars, but not 96-04 cars. i want to get their rear stainless hard line and 3 hose kit which includes braided caliper hoses and chassis to axle hose, but it says it's for fox's using sn95 calipers. so if the hoses won't work with 04 calipers, obviously i couldn't use it.

thanks a lot for your help

94 to 04 rear calipers are all the same, the only difference between cobra and GT versions are the cobra have different brackets and different pads to accept the bigger cobra rotors. I'm using the 94-95 hoses on mine. That looks like a good kit, I think they came out with that kit shortly after I had finished doing my lines.

I forgot about putting LEDs in the HVAC controls. I put 2 from the LEDs I had left over in them.

Wiring ran for gauges

My next task

My wiring diagram for all my add on wiring

RacEoHolic330 · Apr 10, 2013

Looking great man. You seem to know your way around wiring. Looks very neat and organized. I see you have an EVTM. Can't wire a car without one of those!

SpeedHut Gauges arrived today

RacEoHolic330 · Apr 17, 2013

Speedhut has some really trick gauges. I wish I knew about them before I bought all my autometer ones. Where are you mounting them in the car?

hoopty5.0 · Apr 18, 2013

OOoooo I like. All of it. And those gauges look great too.

MikeH686 · Apr 18, 2013

Im going to have the fuel, boost and an AEM A/F on the A pillar and the oil, water and an intake air temp below my radio.

ike34 · Apr 25, 2013

some progress, got brake lines finished up and dash installed

95BlueStallion · Apr 25, 2013

Looking good. Those little things like LED's in the gauges make a huge difference in the quality of the car to me. Just makes the car feel refreshed.

ike34 · May 13, 2013

Started getting the wiring ran and wrapped up

Started modifying a mach 1 chin spoiler to fit.

ike34 · May 28, 2013

Slow going but making some progress

Got the fenders and front bumper re-installed and installed new headlights

Front tire fitment, 275/45 nittos, they were on the wheels so I tried them! they stick out a little far! Swapped one to a 245/45 today to see the difference. Much better but not enough tire for the wheel. Im going to get 255/40s. It doesnt help that I have way to much positive camber right now and no weight in the front. Needs alignment when Im all done.

ike34 · Jun 2, 2013

Small update:

Cobra brakes installed, waited to be bled when the girlfriend gets off work!

Flawless build man, quality work. I gotta do a LED swap, it makes the stock gauges look new.

They make new pistons every day, so why worry?
